Unit 2 is a community event and art space based in BIPOC, two-spirit, trans and queer communities. We've been around for over ten years and are now trying to renovate, build capacity and better equip ourselves to serve the family and friends.

Unit 2 is a community event and art space situated between
Parkdale and the Junction. We have been active in the Toronto music
and cultural world for over eight years, as an informal group of
friends that has hosted book launches, touring bands, art shows and
kids dance parties, to name a few. Unit 2 is responsive to the needs
of BIPOC, two-spirit, trans, queer communities and friends. We
prioritize supporting projects that have limited institutional
support and would benefit from grassroots support and our
do-it-together praxis.

We are working to expand and develop our infrastructure. This
will allow us tap into major structural changes happening in the
local environment, protect this space from any outside interference
and better equip us to serve our community.

To that end, we need to build capacity and renovate this space
for the first time in our fifteen years here. This process includes
physical changes, like soundproofing and altering the kitchen to
improve accessibility, as well as investing in A/V equipment and
furniture. With your help, we will be able to diversify the types of
projects that we can support at Unit 2 as well as improve our
abilities to keep on doing the work we’ve been doing from the beginning.

Please help out how you can, whether that means monies,
spreading the word through your networks or both. We want this to
become a beast of a community hub where people marginalized in this
city and from beyond can find connection and a way forward. Looking
out for each other, there is nothing we can't do. The more you're
able to support the space and programming happening at Unit 2, the
more we're able to give back.

Have you heard Lacey? Watch as she takes the stage. Isn’t she gorgeous? She sits on her stool, or chair, or on the edge of the stage, and her long hair slides down her shoulder. The guitar settles comfortable in her hold as she plucks a few strings and tunes it to her liking. Then she strums. Her music is set on fire by her distinct voice. You keep watching her. The vocals are delicate, yet powerful. She makes her guitar sing too. One song is happy. Another is sad. Her third is jealous and spiteful. Now you’re watching and listening. Each one, you find, is stuffed with honesty. Each one, you find, rings with the energy Lacey used to create something wonderful from pain. Each one, you find, fills you with something you dismiss as deja vu. The melodies wash over you, her lyrics, carried by her voice, weave something unspeakable in and outside of her guitar playing. She’s something. You keep listening and you’re ecstatic and touched and haunted all at once.

Discuss your health concerns/needs and we will work together on a strategy. Ask questions and get recommendations on how to use and make your own herbal remedies. Explore ways that herbs can support healing and living a healthy life as possible. After our consultation Hunter will prepare a custom herbal remedy.

Bio: As a woman with a disability, Jordyn has always felt compelled to use her work as a means of challenging societal notions of disability and autonomy. She uses her practice as an artist to argue that the disabled body shouldn't be considered a failure but rather an example of how the human body is capable of functioning under incredibly diverse circumstances. Her work focuses on themes relating to bodily integrity and chronic illness, and in particular, the challenge that comes with maintaining one while navigating the other.

Our People’s History series is a self-initiated project celebrating and honouring ongoing resistance in our communities.

2 tickets to any night in the run for Acha Bacha (Feb 7 - 18) Theatre Passe Muraille + Buddies in Bad Times

For years, Zaya has balanced his relationship with religion and his queer identity; but as secrets from the past reveal themselves, and crisis strikes his family, he is torn between loyalties, culture, and time. Acha Bacha boldly explores the intersections between queerness, gender identity, and Islamic culture in the Pakistani diaspora. It is a show about the way we love, the way we are loved, and how sometimes love is not enough.

Acha Bacha is being produced in partnership with Theatre Passe Muraille as part of a new initiative between our two companies to share resources and introduce our audiences to the work being done on other stages in Toronto. This show is paired with Kiinalik: These Sharp Tools, a new play by Evalyn Parry and Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory mapping the connections between the Canadian North and South, which will premiere on Buddies stage in October 2017

A tarot reading is a three way collaboration between the cards (they are pretty magical), me (my intuitive sense, my relationship to the cards) and you (your experiences, your questions, your relationship to the cards and the ideas/archetypes they represent). You can tell me nothing, or a little, or a lot about what you have questions about going into a reading, and how you are responding to the cards as we look at them together.
